About Meller Notes
I help you grow your career, build your personal brand, and create simple self-management systems to manage your work and life.
No theater.
No complexity.
The way real people do it.
I’m William!
I’m Brazilian, originally from the south (yes, a gaucho), now living in Sweden. And I’ve been writing online for over 16 years at the intersection of leadership, tech, project management, career, and personal growth.
This space, Meller Notes, is my open notebook made specially for my readers. Simple notes that help you navigate career and life when things feel messy.
Sometimes it’s personal.
Sometimes it’s practical.
Often both.
This is the Hub
I created Meller Notes also to shine light on everything I’m building. It connects all my projects and products:
📚 Deep-dive essays, big book notes, and reading insights at williammeller.com
💡 Guides for tech leaders and digital managers at Decoding Digital Leadership
🧭 Tools and guides for project managers at Project Management Compass
This is the brain hub — the crossroads where we can find:
Book Corner: Big ideas from books, into practical lessons you can use.
Career Moves: Reflections and strategies on how we shape our work lives.
Personal Branding: It’s not just your work, but the story you tell (and sell).
Letters to Starters: For you, starting your career and struggling with the first steps.
Tech: Tools, trends, and systems. Where digital tools meet human decisions.
Productivity: Organizing your time, energy, and attention like they actually matter.
Off the Record: The personal side of my journey and life behind the scenes.
Each post is a fragment of my thinking. Together, they show the pattern.

If these reflections make you pause, think, or even argue back, you can support this project by becoming a paid subscriber. It really would mean the world to me.
There’s no secret club (yet), no locked archive, no big promises.
But… who knows. Let’s see where we go.
If you are a curious professional trying to build clarity in your career and life, this is for you.
For now, it is a small way to help me keep writing, keep learning, and keep sharing in public. That’s it. And that’s more than enough for now.
But believe me — there’s more coming…

About Me
I’m William Meller.
From Brazil to Sweden! I am an innovative and results-driven IT/Digital Manager and an Award-Winning Project Manager with experience leading projects, programs, and portfolios across different industries and cultures.
I hold an MBA in Business Management and a certification in Strategy Execution from Harvard Business School. I’ve been honored as one of PMI’s Future 50 Leaders and a recipient of the Under 35 Changemakers award for leadership and impact.
I’ve guided global teams through complex initiatives, managed portfolios over $10 million, and helped people grow into the leaders they were meant to become.
But honestly? My favorite part is seeing someone grow. Seeing someone go from "I have no idea what I'm doing" to "I’ve got this."
What drives me is simple: People are the fuel that powers my passion.
They inspire me to give my best every day, and that energy is in everything I build.
Thanks for being here. Let’s build something great, together.
